Description:

Williams, Aubrey 1926-1990 Guyanan Abstract. 24 x 36 ins., ( 64 x 91.5 cms.), Oil on Canvas, Label verso from Twickenham Galleries. Aubrey has held some major exhibitions in the UK including The Hayward Gallery and the Whitechapel Gallery. His works are shown in Tate Britain. When Aubrey came to Britain he was working for a framer and met a number of avant-garde artists including people like Roger Hilton. He soon changed his style towards abstraction, but continued to paint birds particularly in a realistic way. He also tried to rediscover pre Columbian art. He was the most distinguished artist from Guyana.
